Framed.....

So, how are you all? Hope your week is going by in a hurry - I know ours sure is! Don't know where the days go....


I had a little frame from The Dollar Tree, and decided to use up some scraps. I simply tore lots of uneven scraps and Mod-Podged them on.


I printed this sentiment, a new release from The Doodle Pantry to roughly 3" x 4.5", sponged around the sentiment with Tim Holtz Stormy Sky Distress Ink, and punched a couple of birds with my Stampin'Up! Bird Punch. Voila!


Taking the photos at night never work out so well, but tomorrow's 'one of those days', and I know nothing will get done in my craft cave, so had to take it tonight! It looks a bit curvy, but it's straight as can be in real life!


I think I am going to enter this at Our Creative Corner - the challenge there is to "Frame It"!!!


Keep praying for those folks in Joplin, Missouri - their death count is well over 100 now, and still many missing. My heart just breaks for them all.


Have a great week, and I'll be by to see you as soon as I can!


Smiles and blessings,
Patti J.

Food for thought: Much like one drop of food coloring tints an entire bottle of water, a tiny bit of kindness colors a whole friendship.

    You wonderful collage of pattern papers create the ideal background to showcase this wonderful sentiment. The birds are the perfect finishing touch!

    Your frame is so pretty! I love the all the pretty papers you used for your collage. The little birdies are precious. I just ordered that punch from Stampin'up. I have seen so many nice designs using it.

    Hope you are okay with all that weather we had yesterday! Heard and saw pictures of the Joplin and Sedalia tornado destruction yesterday on the news. We had a tornado on either side of us, but I thank God for his protection!
    Looks like you got some frustrations out on that paper! *smile*

    What a fun way to do up a frame, Patti -- very clever, and oh so pretty! So many terrific patterns and those birds are so sweet. I used to decoupage a lot -- might need to dig out the modge podge and "borrow" this fun idea!
